Theme: Inter-University Collaboration and Regional Revitalization Initiatives
Students will focus on the role that universities play in the community, and will learn and consider advanced initiatives to solve various regional issues. As regional issues become more complex and enormous, it is no longer possible for a single university to solve them. By collaborating not only among universities but also among other institutions, a synergistic effect will be created between wisdom and power, and it will be possible to overcome difficult problems and revitalize the region. We look forward to your participation.
